Sun Effects On Migraines
Sun can cause dehydration
Being out in the sun heat producing rays may
cause dehydration if you don’t keep hydrated.
Dehydration is one of the most common triggers
of migraines. Keeping fluids in your body to
keep from dehydration plays a very important
role in preventing migraine headaches. If you’re
planning on being in the sun for long periods
at a time you may want to pack bottled water
or lemonade instead of summer favorites such
as tea, or sodas. Knowing what ingredients are
in there beverages that you are drinking may
be vary helpful due to the fact that many beverages
have high contents of caffeine, sugars, or sugar
substances such as aspartame which all are triggers
for migraines for some.
Be aware of the suns consequences
Summer is one of the worst seasons for triggers
causing summer to be enemies to people that
have migraines. This doesn’t necessarily
mean to seclude yourself indoors, but you can
try to avoid some of the triggers that summer
brings. Such as the suns violet rays that may
bring sensitivity to light that triggers migraines,
you can use protective eyewear, use a hat that
prevents the rays from coming in contact with
your eyes, some people use umbrellas. And if
one of your triggers is sensitivity to heat,
you may take s pray bottle containing water
to mist yourself every so often. Sometimes its
best to schedule your summer event later in
the day when the sun produces less heat, this
will help with sensory triggers.
Eye protection
During the summer the UV rays are the most
harmful for your eyes. It is best to find and
invest in a good pair of sunglasses. Polarized
lenses helps prevent the glare and shattered
light fragments; also by selecting good sunglasses
that have optical lenses are better because
they help with distortion. Even sunglasses can’t
avoid all of the suns rays, example sun may
come in from the top of your glasses; again
this is where a good hat may give better protection.
Sensitivity to smells and
If strong smells are a trigger but you have
to use a sun block that properly blocks the
sun from say a sunburn due to the fact the heat
and pain from sunburns can also trigger a migraine,
watch out for the sun blocks that have strong
fragrances. There are several lines that carry
fragrance-free products; these are your best
choices to choose from.
